Tinubu Leads Crucial Federal Executive Council Gathering In Aso Villa

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu chaired the weekly Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting on Monday, as reported by Naija News. The gathering occurred within the Council Chambers of the Presidential Villa in Abuja.

Among those present were Vice President Kashim Shettima, Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) Senator George Akume, Chief of Staff to the President Femi Gbajabiamila, Head of the Federal Civil Service Folashade Yemi-Esan, ministers, and heads of government agencies.

The FEC, a constitutional body, serves as a platform for ministers to deliberate and endorse government policies, with the President acting as Chairman and the Vice President as Vice Chairman.

The FEC session followed President Tinubu’s directive, given his upcoming 72nd birthday on March 29, 2024, that no celebrations be organized due to the prevailing national mood. In a statement released on Sunday by his special adviser on information and strategy, Bayo Onanuga, the President urged associates and well-wishers not to arrange any celebratory events or goodwill advertorials but instead to donate the funds to charity organizations, citing the nation’s current challenges and recent security incidents as rationale for his decision.
